maybe in anime. real siblings have a natural aversion to being attracted to each other. disgust would be miles ahead of a flustered reaction, and i'd tell her to get off my bed.
point being you can't really have it both ways. either you see them as a girl/woman or a little sister, and jinta obviously sees her as the former.

Excellent episode. So much pain and confusion all round. Just like real life, but more entertaining.
No wonder this is 2channel's favorite of all this season's shows (~87,000 posts; Hanasaku Iroha, at ~76,000 is next). I can't figure out why Denpa Onna, in my mind a worthy successor to Bakemonogatari, isn't more popular (~16,000) but that's another matter. Tsuruko is definitely great, in part due to her great lines, in part due to her fascinating attitude and obvious depth, and in large part due to how perfectly Hayami Saori is doing her voice. Real voice-acting. Lots of excellent voice work here. From Irino Miyu as Jintan, from Sakurai Takahiro as Yukiatsu, from Tomatsu Haruka as Naruko. I'm even getting used to Kayano Ai as Menma, though she's still not as special as those first three. Same for Kondou Takayuki as Poppo.

About the two friends: are they really that bad?
Saying they'd stop being friends wasn't nice, but I don't think it's meant to be taken seriously. And they seemed pretty glad that Anaru was going to get laid. Sure, it's not what Anaru wanted, but they didn't know that, did they? I mean, that's what they were here for. Maybe? Yet, the one who was going to be left out (unless they planned to share the remaining guy) seemed quite magnanimous. Or maybe they're as naive as Anaru and thought the guys just wanted to have a romantic moonlit walk on a beach or something, and were glad for that. Anyway, I think the problem isn't that they're bad persons, but that Anaru's resemblance with them is pretty superficial. They don't really want the same things, so, yeah, that kind of incident was going to happen sooner or later. But they didn't mean any harm. |

The term in question is indeed One Piece the anime. It's actually most obvious when the guy first mentioned it:
「ワンピース見ないとだし」 You don't really "watch" a one-piece dress or whatever it's translated into. And yeah, on top of that, the other guy said it should be the day after the next day, so. Anyway, nice execution. Just nice execution. Even though I already said it before, I'm saying this again: this show brings you no surprise. It's plain, it's simple, but yet it's powerful (sounding like my company's catch phrase now ) No, the relationships between the characters aren't really that complicated. They are simple enough to comprehend. This show is all about execution, and they have been doing a god-like job at it. Please, please, keep it up for the rest of the show and it will end up as one of my favorites of all time. By the way, Anaru mentioned Jinta looking like Yama-chan of Hey! Say! JUMP if he took care of his hair, I was like err, okay... In case you wonder how Yama-chan looks like: |

Poppo already assumes that ghost Menma exists. However, even he's showing now that he has a problem being unable to see or hear her. Do you think seeing an invisible force cook muffins or write will solve that problem? |

So far this show has been hitting a home run.....every episode!
If this keeps at it, its bound to be a masterpiece (to me). The characters are so real and its nice how so much attention has been paid to detail.

What's more relevant, and frankly a brilliant move on their part, is that because we see Menma interact with various persons and items, she becomes more than a mere supernatural phenomenon. She becomes a real human character to us viewers, instead of a floating, gaseous, transparent, Casper-like substance that shouldn't have to abide by the laws of the physical world. It requires a level of suspension of disbelief, but to be honest, in a character-driven show, this style of execution works better than if she were able to move through walls, give off a glow and whatnot. It's a matter of preference. |

We all get to see Anaru's "friends" in our own way, but I think we are being directed to see them as shallow, loose, manipulative, fairly nasty "gals," who are dragging Anaru with them down a dead end. The only plus so far is girl#2 not objecting to Anaru getting her guy. That surprised me.

It's like the old joke: "A friend will bail you out in the morning. A real friend will be right next to you, saying "Dude! That was awesome"." Now, of course, the kind of friend you actually need is the one who won't pull you into stupid shit in the first place. And I'm not claiming that the girls are anything more than fair weather friends to Anaru, ready to ditch her if she really becomes too boring. But still, maybe in their own way, they're being nice to her. |

Oh wait, the episode is over? NOOOOO! I'd have to say, that feeling is what makes a show outstanding to me.
Hah, it seems they'll never let Yukiatsu over this, nor will Jintan forgive him for a while about raining him with tears. As expected Crossdresser had feelings for Menma and he could never get past it. But hey, at least he's doing well in other parts in life. Anaru, escaping in fake friends and pressured by shady guys. That's gonna take a while to fix too. Yukiatsu tries to regain some credibility and partially succeeds. But we'll never forget Manma. And we really have to wonder why Menma only appears to Jintan. Surely Jintan could never have know about the hairclip, so Menma must be some kind of presence. It's a bit frustrating for both him and Menma. And man, these people are a messed up bunch. One might wonder why nobody's seen a shrink, but there definitely is a huge stigma concerning mental issues. One wouldn't hesitate to see a doctor if one's arm was broken, or they weren't feeling well elsewhere, but when it comes to issues of the brain, suddenly people can't see it like that. If something is wrong with you, then something is wrong with you, but it seems people with mental issues tend to be sterotyped as "defective". And nobody wants to be seen as that, so they try everything in their power to act normal and hide the problem under the rug. Or wait til its dark and jump around in a little girls' dress. I lol'd about Naraku commenting on Jintan fixing his hair; he really should.
